Re: Question for all of you about your grandparents

ok- my side of this....
my dad's side...no history as all passed on very early...
my mom's side....Grandma, the only grandparent I met, although I met my dad's grandfather, but did not have a name for him.

DH's side... Granddaddy and Grammie seemed to work for both sides

Our DD said Grandma and Poppy for my parents, and Grammie and 'More Daddy" for Bill's parents- a funny story I need to scrap.

Our older grandson calls up Granddad and Grandma

now for the munchkin, who turned one on Saturday...we are just 'noise', LOL sometimes... I am "ah Gee Gee" with up stretched arms. Hoping the child speaks English one day.

Re: Question for all of you about your grandparents

My grandchildren call me (memaw) and they call my husband (papa) they call their other sets of grandparents grandma and grandpa.
I was very young when I had my first one, which my mother was very young to be a grandma (so she thought) she had my oldest call her G' (short for grandma) Marie (Gmarie) it was kind of a family joke. Till she was about 4-5 when I had my other two. Now Toni is 31 and call's my mom GMarie for giggles Ohhh and my grandchildren call my mom "The Queen" lol she refuses to be a great-grandma just yet.

Re: Question for all of you about your grandparents

I answered this on FB, but I'll answer here too! I called my grandfather on my mom's side grandpa, but it comes out more like "grampaw," haha.

(As a sidenote, Grandpa called ME mijita, which sounds like "meeHEEta" and literally translates to "my little daughter/girl.")

My great-grandparents on my mom's side, I called them what sounds like "wiLEEto" and "wiLEEta," which is a slightly shortened version of saying the full Spanish words abuelito and abuelita (meaning little grandfather and little grandmother in Spanish. I don't know why it has little in there, but it just did lol).

If this is for a kit, I'd love to see abuelo/abuelito and abuela/abuelita in there. ^_^
